Default Tire Recommendation - 90% Highway Driver

Hi guys,

I still have a good amount of tread left on my stock tires, but I'm researching for the future. A majority of my driving is my commuting so a long lasting and comfortable tire is key. I don't drive too aggressively and long stretches on the freeway don't exactly lend to high speed turns Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Allen

Forgot to mention that my car came with the Turanzas and not the Potenzas.

About the only tire in those sizes that is designed more for treadlife and quiet ride over performance is the Turanza EL400... superior to the ER33's that are currently on there, they will last longer and should be a slightly quieter ride...

Everything else listed on TR's site with those sizes are specifically high performance oriented tires...
